Mechanical Circulatory Support Systems
Abbott supports patients with advanced heart failure with mechanical pumps that restore blood flow to the body, both for the short- and long-term circulatory support. We design our pumps to be gentle on the blood while they are working so that patients can live longer and fuller lives.
CentriMag Acute Circulatory Support System
CentriMag™ Acute Circulatory Support System is driven by the CentriMag Pump with Full MagLev™ Flow Technology. The pump includes a free-floating magnetically levitated rotor for a contact-free environment. The CentriMag System is the only acute mechanical circulatory support system approved for 30-day use.* The CentriMag System includes both pediatric and adult pump options for a wide range of patient types and sizes.
HeartMate 3 Left Ventricular Assist Device (LVAD)
The HeartMate 3™ Left Ventricular Assist Device (LVAD) is indicated for short- and long-term mechanical circulatory support in advanced heart failure patients—including use as a bridge to transplant, bridge to myocardial recovery, or as destination therapy. The HeartMate 3 LVAD is a proven long‑term, life‑extending option1 and offers an improved safety profile.2 Worldwide, the HeartMate 3 LVAD has been implanted in over 45,000 patients.**
HeartMate II Left Ventricular Assist Device (LVAD)
The HeartMate II™ LVAD is designed to provide short- or long-term circulatory support for advanced heart failure patients and is indicated for both destination therapy and bridge-to-transplantation in the United States. Worldwide, the HeartMate II LVAD has been implanted in over 26,000 patients.**
